Reflection
During Reading this Semester, I had a goal set which was to add more expression while I'm reading. I've been trying to achieve this goal by reading aloud at home and in Reading Groups. I can get better at trying to understand a word I don't know by, using other words around it that will connect to it.

In the past two terms for Writing, I've tried to improve on wiritng short stories but with lots of detail. The past week we've been learning about spelling. In spelling we learnt about the difference of words that are spelt differently but sound the same. Now I feel confident finding differences between words that sound the same and using them correctly.

This Semster in Numeracy we've learnt about Place Value, Rounding numbers, Mass and Weight, Decimals, Rounding decimals, Fractions, Comparing and Odering Fractions, Simplyfing Fractions, Addition, Volume, Subtraction, Multiplication and Length. Throughout all of these, I have tried to find out different strategies to figure out different answers. I would like to know more about Volume, Mass and Weight because I don't have a proper undersatnding of them.

In the last two terms of Inquriy we mainly learnt about Science-Light and Sound and the History of Aboriginal people. I have enjoyed Science because now I have a better understanding of it and I have never been this interested in Science. When we first started learning about History of Aboriginies I thought it was going to be boring and I will definetly not enjoy it. But now that we have learnt so much about Aboriginal Lifestyle it has sparked my mind! I enjoy learning about this because I get to know the difference between how Aboriginies used to live and how we live now.

For Art we made some 3D faces using metalic colours. I really enjoyed designing these masks because it was fun and I finished it on time. I would like to thank Miss Murray taking her time making these plasters! Here is a photot of my mask that I created. I also created a Mailbox in Art with Lulu, and the Mailbox was for the class if they would like to write letters to our teacher that they would not want to share with the class. Here is a photo of the Mailbox Lulu and I created.

For Sport before we start on activities we always have to work on an activity that will help us get our heart rate up for 10mins. After that we learn a new skill that troubles us and then a game. I think that Mr Mac puts alot of effort in sport for teaching us because he helps us get better at something that we were never good at! I would really like it if we got to do sports for 2 hours per week because Sport helps me build up my fitness and I enjoy doing it.

For Mandarin, we learnt new sentences and words about food and types of drinks. We learnt sentences like "Would you like a drink or would you like toufu?" In Mandarin Miss Chen is really helpful because she helps you actually learn the pronouncing of the word properly and she also helps youlearn how to write the word. Every time Miss Chen teaches us new things or words I get excited because Miss Chen plans great and excitiing things for us, and she knows what is helpful to us and what we would enjoy.
